Tasha Beeds is a Plains Cree and Scottish-Metis academic and Mide-Kwe Water Walker.[1] She is an assistant professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies at the University of Sudbury.[2]
Beeds was born to a Cree mother and Bajan father, and grew up in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan.[3] She studied English and Indigenous studies at the University of Saskatchewan.[3] After graduation she worked as a tutor and authored education modules, eventually pursuing graduate studies in order to teach as a professor. She began her studies at USask, relocating to Trent University where she completed a master's degree and pursued her PhD studies.[3] As a PhD candidate Beeds received a Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship to support her research on violence, Indigenous women and Cree consciousness.[4] She joined the Indigenous studies program at the University of Sudbury in 2019.[5][1]
As of March 2021, Beeds has walked about 7000 km as a way to raise awareness about the state of water systems in Canada and the United States.[1] Her first walk, in 2011, was around Rice Lake, Ontario which led to her participation in lengthier journeys.[3] One walk involved carrying water from the Atlantic Ocean, beginning in Matane, Quebec and ending at Madeline Island, Wisconsin.[6] Another, which took place in 2017, began in Duluth, Minnesota and ended in Mantane, Quebec where water from Lake Superior was joined with water in the St. Lawrence River.[7] Beeds' mentor, Josephine Mandamin, was an Anishinaabe elder known for her work as a water protector.[1]
